Had I known that, I would have chosen a different hotel. The rooms are small and our room did not have any furniture to sit on other than the beds. I tried to get into the lobby at 8:30 on a Tuesday morning but everything was locked up. If you are traveling on a Monday or Tuesday. I would not choose the Oatis. It is certainly not fully functional on those days

We enjoyed our stay at Murray. Would recommend it. But like everything many options on the island…read moreto consider. For our first time staying we were happy we choose this place. But as we walked around there were others that appealled to us. The precheck went well. They would call when ready. We left luggage in luggage hold room. Did some walking. We're called and flawless. The Amiga restaurant is ok. We had one breakfast but not eat there again. Having the complimentary coffee station and doughnuts from 8:30 to 10:30 was great. The front porch has three rocking chairs which we used a number of time. I would recommend adding a fourth. I know that during the day they have a free sample fudge table and trying to get people in for Amiga bfast and lunch. But at least when the Amiga closes at 4:30 put the fourth chair out. The lobby area seating close to the elevator. Secluded. Nice chairs if you want to listen to a podcast or read a book. The pool deck area and small 3 foot pool/hot tub was nice. Queit and calming place. Rooms are small. Queen bed and ours was comfortable. AC unit did ok. Though at times it felt damp. Sink is in enclave I. The room. Shower and toilet in its own room. Shower is small. One dresser and TV. small bed side table. All in all it works. But not a place to hang out in. I did like that Murray is right across from Arnolds and near some decent restaurants plus the grocery store. The staff were helpful and friendly. No comment on room pricing as there is limited room inventory on the island. When you go expect inflationary pricing.

Our visit started with meeting Brandon & Michael at the front desk. Brandon actually remembered my…read morephone call asking for extra towels. Amazing! He also stopped at the room to let me know I'd left the key in the door of the room. The hotel is a quaint, old structure - well maintained and accessible. The room was well appointed with a view overlooking the street and the Pink Pony. I was a bit concerned that it might be noisy after hours, but it wasn't. Check out was equally smooth. Being almost straight across from Star Line (aka Mackinac Island Ferry) made it so easy to arrive & depart. Well done, Murray Hotel!

I loved being able to enjoy a beautiful water view walk within a few minutes of leaving my room…read more I also enjoyed walking downtown which was less than a mile where there are multiple great dining options and shopping. The common areas are great. The main lobby and wrap around porch of the main building are wonderful, inviting and very relaxing. The grounds are spacious with a pool (closed in the fall), gym, and indoor hot tub. There is plenty of free parking. We loved the first day's breakfast and wish we had gone out on the second day. The number of breakfast options decrease when there are less guests. It is available 7 a.m - 10 a.m. The room was extremely clean and spacious but the space was not well designed. There was not a desk or table which is a big drawback for me. The shower is small. A larger person would find it difficult to use. The ironing board was horrible. It was a small one to use on the sink coulter with a leg that would stay up. It kept falling. All staff were very friendly.

The view was beautiful, looking across beautiful gardens and green lawn onto Lake Michigan. We stayed elsewhere, but were very happy we made the stop for lunch. Come for the atmosphere and stay for the food.

Only a few minutes from Mackinaw City. Super clean, adorably decorated, plenty of towels (very important.) Our double queen room had it all, well almost, no hair blow dryer or tea bags. Those coffee drinkers get everything though. The kitchen has an almost full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, small convection oven thing, utensils, etc., a table and 2 chairs. Comfortable beds, plenty of pillows, oh, I didn't see any extra blankets. The property offers lawn games and lakefront across the street. I did hear traffic from the nearby highway, so if you are a light sleeper pack accordingly. Geez, as you can tell, I really liked this place.

Chad (the owner) is an incredibly nice guy who worked exceptionally hard to be as accommodating as possible. The rooms were impeccably clean and stylistically modern- and I slept like a baby.

With the six mile drive to the ferry, the next time I want to go to Mackinac - I will undoubtedly stay here. And you should too!

Don't expect to be able to reserve a room before April at the earliest, and usually more like May.
